Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,493 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,686 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KTUL Tulsa International Airport. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18L, with a takeoff distance of 3,307 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KTUL Tulsa International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,666 feet above sea level to 12,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,342 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of OK01 Sky Haven Airpark/Sellmeyer Field Vera. This phase lasted for 48 minutes and covered a distance of 257 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles south east of Farragut, Iowa, descending from an altitude of 11,989 feet above sea level to 2,256 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,733 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at KOMA Eppley Airfield was made from the south east, with a heading of 325.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 32L, which has a length of 9,493 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 112 knots. The touchdown point was 294 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 97 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,813 feet, which is 30% of the runway length. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KOMA Eppley Airfield, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 325.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 112 knots at the threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 294 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 97 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -146 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, deviating 23 feet from the centreline. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 1 knot each. The total landing distance was 2,813 feet, which is 30% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating 35 feet from the centreline. Despite this minor issue, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, and the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft. The successful landing of the Cessna CJ4 Citation at KOMA Eppley Airfield highlights the pilot's skill and experience in executing a smooth and controlled approach and landing.
